Excellent!
Did you happen to catch the special they did on one of the news programs, where they went back and relocated her?

The years have not been kind to her, but those eyes are still every bit as piercing.

I have not seen this photo since about 2002 when it first came out. The drawing you did is about as close as perfect as one can get.

I have the original photo from the National Geographic magazine, this is amazingly accurate. It's one of my favourite photos because it really captures the fear this girl has.

I agree, this is cold to say Afghan girl. Nevertheless, this is very expressive, yet it has that element of sadness to it. The eyes are harsh and gives an uneasy feeling. This is beautifully drawn and depicted

i believe its cold the Afghan girl but what ever. anyway this is amazing though i rather people draw stuff from their imagination rather then do carbon copy's of photographs, but this amazing none the less great job hope you keep producing stuff in this quality.
